At a single glance, Jack saw right through his parents. Exasperation inexorably swamped him.
“Since you've investigated Ms. Jarvis, I'm sure you already know that she's an exceedingly outstanding doctor.”
With regard to that statement, Titus and Priscilla had no rebuttal.
During the investigation, they had already learned that Roxanne studied under Harvey and was even his top student.
That alone was sufficient for them to acknowledge her medical attainments.
However, that didn't mean they could accept the fact that she was a divorcee with kids.
Jack could tell that his parents were still influenced by public opinion, so he had no choice but to continue explaining things to them helplessly.
“I reckon you're both aware of the project the Damaris family established recently.”
In response, Titus and Priscilla nodded noncommittally.
Despite being away from the Damaris residence most of the time, they still kept themselves informed about the Damaris family's activities.
At that, Jack nodded in satisfaction. “Since you know of this project, you must know that Ms. Jarvis is also one of the members involved.”
Everything was fine before he mentioned that, but the instant he did so, Priscilla's face darkened once more. “I heard she also obtained the opportunity by...”
By selling her body.
Before she could vocalize the rest of that comment, Jack interrupted testily, “That's just a baseless rumor. Hadn't Jessica apologized?”
When Priscilla heard that, her expression turned even grimmer.
Jessica had been her ideal candidate for a daughter-in-law throughout the years, but she had never imagined that the woman would do such a thing.
In consideration that it was her misjudgment, she didn't say anything further.
